I went backpacking on the Juan De Fuca Trail over Easter weekend. Unfortunately the weather was just short of a hurricane the whole time, so I didn't have much of an opportunity to shoot. On the last day it cleared up a bit, and I had to wade across a river to get this shot. Well worth the effort I think!

Other: Used fill flash on shutter priority to see if I could get motion blurred background with sharp rider, and if I was really lucky trails.

As it turns out, this was the only image using this technique that wasn't completely blurry. For the rest of the shots I just changed to a 1/1000 shutter speed, which worked a lot better. Still, experimentation is the name of the game for me, not making magazine worthy photos

Here we go:
I think this Picture fits the Motion theme very well, because for me it represents a voyage, which we ( my family and I, they are the people in the middle) were taking through Bali, Indonesia and on this particular day we were exploring the rich ricefields.

The Picture is a Panorama made from 5 seperate pictures.
The setttings apply to all of them:

Enticed the birds with bird seed mix placed outside the window. This is a red bellied female woodpecker taken through the window after she had chosen her prize. Shot on shutter priority to stop motion mid flight.
